CRAIG HOUSE REPORT

It’s been another busy term in Craig House with House Steeplechase, House Singing, Year 9 Drama, the Craig House Table Tennis competition and finally the Christmas Decoration competition, hopefully the last of which will be making its return after a few years absence!

In the Steeplechase, the top performers were Harry Jordan (4th in Year 9) and Alfie Hunter (4th in Seniors). While there were no podium finishes, the important thing is that Cronkite spirit was shown by all and everyone who took part did the house proud.

The house singing was a great success, resulting in a 2nd place finish. Deep down everyone knows that we were the peoples ’ champion. It was great to lead the song from the front and see the passion and enjoyment on everyone ’ s faces as we really pulled it out of the bag on the night. House pizza was truly deserved and suitably enjoyed.

At the time of writing we are awaiting the results of the Year 9 drama, but as defending champions we all have high hopes for the Year Nines to defend the title. Oliver Shouksmith

It’ s also been a successful term for Cronkites in terms of rugby, with Marcus Skyrme making his 1st XV debut against Sevenoaks alongside the four Cronkites mentioned in the last edition. Hector Summers has also made his first performance and scored his first try for Sweden U18 against Gibraltar. Jamie Gregory (Yr 11) and Charlie Hewitt (Yr 9) have also been selected for premiership academies, Northampton Saints and Harlequins respectively.

With Christmas approaching, there ’ s plenty to look forward to, including the hotly anticipated House Table Tennis competition where Deputy Head of House, Josh Ansell, will be looking to defend his crown from last year, as well as the house dinner with School House with an interesting theme of Musicians.

Overall, it has been a great first few weeks after half term. The atmosphere in Craig is really good and I’m sure that will only improve as festive cheer hits the house.
